What an awesome shot!! Wonderful!

Two comments:
1. Doesn't look like the guy's gonna make it...:) I'm sure it's the angle and the fact that the viewer doesn't have any notion of depth of the rocks... :)
2. Is it just me, or are there two lines (brown color) straight under the diver, which almost form a triangle, and are quite distracting to me...and I really can't figure out where they come from...

That's the wall on the path leading up to the tower they dive off. I have the complete series of him from diving off to hitting the water (love the 20D rapid exposure mode!) This was the best of the bunch I thought!
